A  BRIEF  SKETCH 

In  the  summer  of  1907,  the  people  began  to  talk  about  their  need  of 
remodeling  the  old  church. 

During  the  winter  of  the  same  year,  at  a  funeral  held  in  the  church,  the 
floor  gave  way;  then  it  became  evident  that  something  must  be  done,  but 
nothing  was  undertaken  until  the  spring  of  1  908,  when  the  Pastor  called  the 
Official  Board  together  to  consider  what  could  be  done.  No  definite  plans 
were  formulated  at  this  meeting,  only  that  we  should  consider  what  would  be 
the  cost  of  re-modeling  the  old  or  of  building  a  new  church. 

So,  after  several  weeks  of  careful  planning  and  much  praying,  it  was 
deemed  advisable  to  build  a  new  church.  Accordingly,  ground  was  broken 
July  29,  1908,  for  the  new  church  on  the  same  site  upon  which  the  old  one 
had  stood,  and  rendered  service  for  fifty-three  years. 

Now  we  have  the  pleasure  of  gathering  to-day  to  worship  in  this  beauti¬ 
ful  new  edifice.  As  we  enter  this  house,  may  we  not  pray  that  “the  glory 
of  Jehovah  shall  fill  Jehovah’s  house, ’’  as  in  days  of  old?
